For those with solid axles, could you please measure and provide the following information.

First, what year is the truck? IFS or stock solid axle is fine.

Second, please measure from the top of the U-bolt plate straight vertically to the frame at ride height.

Last, please share bumpstop size and clearance.

Thanks.

 

85 frame, obviously factory solid axle.

8" between spring plate and frame.

4" poly bump stops, 3 1/4" clearance between spring plate and bumpstop on the side that doesnt have a bent spring.

 

93 4runner. 4" leafspring from SAS kit.

7.25" from Ubolt plate to bottom of frame

1.5" clearance at bumpstops.

Standard bumpstops that come with SAS kits.

 

bumpstops? what are bumpstops?

 

86 Pickup - 4" Allpro/Alcan's

Bottom of frame to u-bolt plate - 7.25"

Clearance @ bumps - 2.25"

-----------------------------------------------

'85 4runner - rear Toyota springs up front

Bottom of frame to u-bolt plate - 9.75"

Clearance - 2"

 

86 4runner, toy rears up front with an additional leaf.

6.5" frame to u-bolt plate

3" from spring to TRE on the pitman arm

 

adrian, what does yours measure out to?

 

Just over 7" frame to plate.

With 3" stroke bumpstops and breathing room for them, I should have around 4" of compression. Not too bad on a rig like this.

The bummer at the moment is a mis-calc on the crossover that is under the bell housing. Anyone have good leads for ovalized exhaust tube? If not, I may be making my own on the first good bump!!!

 

I've been down this road already. Not the cheapest, but good selection:
